.Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Zimmerman exited Wednesday's game early with back tightness and apparently is not ready to go yet. Mark Reynolds will bat sixth and play first base versus righty Jon Gray. Reynolds is probably not the best DFS option, but he could be a cheap sleeper while hitting in Coors Field.

.Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Zimmerman left Wednesday's game with back tightness and apparently is not ready to play yet. Mark Reynolds will play first base and bat sixth versus lefty Kyle Freeland. Reynolds is normally worth a shot against left-handed pitching, but Freeland has been great this season.

Ryan Zimmerman Hopes To Play Friday

Sep. 26, 2018

More from

.Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) left the game early on Wednesday with a tight back, but he's hoping to play on Friday. Zimmerman had a run scored and a walk in his lone plate appearance on Wednesday before departing. While the veteran still has a bit of power in his lumber (13 home runs), he doesn't do much else to be relevant in mixed leagues anymore, and he's no longer an everyday player. Don't count on him playing much in the final weekend of the season.

Ryan Zimmerman Not Playing Thursday

Sep. 6, 2018

More from

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Zimm is probably just receiving a rest day. Mark Reynolds will start at first base and is batting sixth against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks. Reynolds is hitting .800 in just five career at-bats against Hendricks. It's a small sample size, but Reynolds always has DFS appeal as a sleeper because of his power bat.

Ryan Zimmerman Fills Stat-Sheet Wednesday

Sep. 5, 2018

More from

Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a great day against St. Louis on Wednesday. Zimmerman went 2-for-5, scored two runs and drove in three. A bases-loaded double in the seventh knocked in the three men on base and made this start worthwhile for Zimmerman owners. Despite being annoying to own due to health, Zimmerman has been productive when in the lineup. He should continue to hit well as the season winds down unless Washington decides to rest starters given their place in the standings.
